Wadsley Church
The graveyard is over 6 acres, and contains the remains of over 10,000 people, mostly buried between 1834 and 1950. There are no spare plots available but we still have occasional family burials into family graves with space. We have a small area where cremated ashes can be buried.
There are 53 war graves (49 from World War 1, and 4 from World War 2). Near the Vainor Road entrance, there is a memorial, along with the graves of 23 soldiers from the nearby Wharncliffe War Hospital. The other war graves are scattered through the graveyard in family graves.
We have 30 victims of the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864, as well as 6 headstones which mention the reservoir bursting.
A large grass area contains the remains of over 2500 paupers from the South Yorkshire Asylum, buried between 1872 and 1948
